First sunday in adventLuke 21:25-28, 34-36Jesus said to his disciples:
“There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars,
and on earth nations will be in dismay,
perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves.
People will die of fright
in anticipation of what is coming upon the world,
for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
And then they will see the Son of Man
coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
But when these signs begin to happen,
stand erect and raise your heads
because your redemption is at hand.
“Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy
from carousing and drunkenness
and the anxieties of daily life,
and that day catch you by surprise like a trap.
For that day will assault everyone
who lives on the face of the earth.
Be vigilant at all times
and pray that you have the strength
to escape the tribulations that are imminent
and to stand before the Son of Man.” -
Fr. kevin's corner
Greetings in the Lord…
Change is a bit of a challenge for all of us. With every transition comes both uncertainty and opportunity. I take this opportunity to introduce myself and hopefully ease some uncertainty.
I am Fr. Kevin Gualano (please call me
Fr. Kevin). I grew up in the Lehigh Valley and I have a younger sister and brother. I am a graduate of Easton Area High School and during which I volunteered at Suburban Rescue Squad as an EMT
I have a B. S. is in Physical Chemistry, from Gannon University, with a minor in
Psychology. After college, I worked a few years at Dun & Bradstreet where I wrote
financial programs. I graduated from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary with an M.A. in Pastoral Theology and recently I was sent for further studies where I earned a Master of Science in Church Management from the
Villanova School of Business.
I have been ordained for 14 years during when I served as an Assistant Pastor at the Cathedral of St. Catharine of Siena and St. Joseph the Worker Parishes. I then served as the Chaplain of Bethlehem Catholic High School, and then as the Newman Chaplain of both Muhlenberg and Moravian Colleges.
I enjoy hiking, bicycling, skiing, and a really good rain storm.
I am extremely happy and excited to be
appointed your Administrator of Most Blessed Sacrament Parish. I look forward to this great journey of faith, that the Holy Spirit has gifted us.
May God Bless you,
Fr. Kevin
